Rejecting My Powerful Fated Alpha Mate

Beatrice Wells Werewolf

“I died once. Betrayed by my own cousin. Stabbed by the man I loved. And finished off with poisoned wine while my fated mate watched, believing I was the traitor. But the Moon Goddess gave me a second chance. I woke up in my own bed, twenty years old, with the scars of my first life burned into my soul-and seven days to stop the union that destroyed everything. I was supposed to have time. Time to gather proof. Time to turn my grandmother against the vipers in our midst. Time to formally reject Alpha Gavin Carlisle before he could become my doom. Then they arrived a week early. Now I'm standing in my grandmother's council hall, wearing white like a declaration of war, refusing the Alpha's gifts and spinning lies about prophecies just to buy myself another breath. My cousin Karla watches my every move, hungry for my downfall. Her lover Jarrod circles like the predator he is, still thinking I'm the naive fool he once manipulated. They have no idea. I remember everything. Every whisper. Every knife in the dark. Every single player in the game that killed me. And this time? I'm the one holding the blade. My grandmother thinks I'm afraid of leaving home. The elders think I'm cursed. The Stonefang emissary thinks I'm a hysterical bride. But I know the truth: the real monsters are already inside these walls, and the Alpha who's supposed to be my enemy? He's already crossed into my territory. Unannounced. Uninvited. And determined to claim me anyway. Let him come. I've already died once for trusting the wrong people. I've burned in the fires of their betrayal. And now I have three days to save my pack, expose the traitors, and rewrite a destiny that was never mine to begin with. They wanted a victim. They got a warrior. "I would rather live my entire life alone and unmated than be the cause of so much death." But I'm not alone. And this time, I'm not dying.”
